Prussia. Friedrich Wilhelm III gold Proof "Friedrich & Elisabeth" Medal of 12 Ducats 1823 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, Wittelsbach-2814. 41mm. By J. Lösch and B. Stiglmayer. Struck on the marriage of Friedrich Wilhelm III's son (the later King Friedrich Wilhelm IV) to Elisabeth Ludovika, the fourth daughter of Maximilian I (IV) of Bavaria. Deep pondlike reflectivity is expressed in the fields, with pure silkiness to the devices highlighting the beautiful engraved quality of the neo-classical imagery displayed on the reverse. Very scarce, and of admirable visual charm in this near-gem preservation.
